Labor Law

Collective bargaining has produced countless advancements in workers' rights. Collective bargaining with unions has led to the protection of important rights — such as reasonable working conditions and fair wages — that are foundational to the health, safety and wellness of workers in every industry.

Unions are subject to detailed federal regulations. Labor law is a labyrinth of complex federal laws, regulations and precedents. Navigating these intricate legal standards requires skill, experience and dedication.
